Hey guys,I have a broken PS5 Digital on my bench that I bought online. The previous owner had a blown power supply: he replaced it, the console worked for 2 minutes, and then went into a permanent BLOD. A repair shop looked at it but gave up.

Doing my own checks: no obvious shorts, all voltages are present, and the APU/RAM heat up normally.I hooked up the UART and it just keeps throwing the 80800022 error. No other codes.

Looking closely under the microscope, I noticed a crack on the corner of one of the RAM chips' package (pic attached). The surrounding capacitors are not shorted.Here’s the interesting part: I tried pressing down hard with my finger on the cracked chip while turning it on. Only once, the blue light stayed on for a few seconds longer, the fan ramped up to max speed for a moment, and then it shut off completely. It never did it again after that, just going back to the usual instant BLOD.

My questions for anyone who has seen this before:

  1. Do you think the chip was already "cooked" internally from the old PSU power surge and my pressing just made it finally give way, or could I have cracked the die myself just by pressing it with my finger?
  2. If I desolder this RAM and try to boot without it, should the UART get past the generic 80800022 and give me the specific missing bank code (e.g., 808011xx family)?
  3. Has anyone ever seen a RAM physically crack like this after a blown PSU?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can point me in the right direction!
 
Update: pulled the cracked RAM. The solid 80800022 is gone and I'm getting 80801F12 now. Does this definitely confirm it was pulling the bus down? Safe to order the replacement?
 
Never seen cracked chip from blown psu,
Some chip may cracked if power surge cause by lightning struck.

But the other component mostly will be dead also, and the damaged "normally" visible. Like burned component, and sometimes component melted down into the board, like fused together cause by high temperature spike.

From the photo you posted, i'm quite sure crack might cause after pressing it too hard.
Or small crack is already there but not visible,

i've never changed ram chip on ps5 or ps4.
But as i know, changing ram chip is considered safe and easy if replaced with same ram type.

ps.
i'm quite familiar with microsoldering jobs, i call it is my hobby since early 2000

Yes, I changed it and installed the new RAM. Now it turns on but stays stuck on the pulsing blue light forever. I think it's the RAM I installed. Has this happened to anyone?
 
It could be just a bad ram chip or bad soldering.

Not sure if the ps5 need special treatment after ram swap. But it should be not needed any. I've never seen anything like this in smartphones for an example.
Only replace then it will be done.

Wait for several minutes when blue light stays on, i see that will beep 3 times and turned off. Then hdmi cable to tv. Turn on again.

Have you check if any new error codes appeared?

Just checked several youtube videos, and yes there is no need any special treatment.

Check again your ram chip and soldering,

I need the exact value (µF and Voltage) of the missing capacitor circled in the picture. It is located on the top side, right next to RAM Bank 3. The motherboard is an EDM-030 with Samsung memory. Thank you.

Maybe 1uf,
You can check cap on another banks.
Should be the same value.

Hardware  Thread 'PS5 Slim (EDM-140) – BLOD, RAM calibration / impedance error – diagnostics so far Error code: 80801510'

PS5 Slim (EDM-140) powers on with beep + blue LED for ~2 seconds, then shuts off. No second beep.

PSU / basics
• PSU tested standalone: 12.15 V stable
• 12 V remains stable on motherboard during shutdown
• All fuses OK, HDMI visually fine
• Board fully cleaned, liquid metal removed, no visible corrosion

Voltages during power-on
• RAM VDD/VDDQ: ~1.37–1.38 V
• APU core: ~0.90–0.91 V
• Rails appear briefly, then drop when console shuts off

UART 80801510 – RAM calibration / impedance fault on Chip 5

After a light reflow of chip 5 it briefly...

This for different board revision, usually not much different.

Sorry, i mean bios chip near southbridge.
What is the state of "blod" ?
Only blue light stays on?
Pulsing blue light?
Blue light 2-3seconds then 3 beeps?

There is several blue light symptom as i'm aware, can cause by different issue.

It's better to check every power voltage needed to boot, you can find reference on youtube video.

Also check with connected hdmi to tv,
I remember that i've seen ps5 only blue light when connect hdmi into old pc monitor. Somehow ps5 refused to boot with my old benq monitor.

After i try with different tv, it's boot normally.

but first of all, i suggest that you must be really sure for ram replacement is known to be working. as your first issue originally come from cracked ram chip.

Find out another working board to test the ram chip, there is possible the replacement itself is bad ram chip.
 
OK, thanks, I'll try. As for the light, it stays a pulsating blue but never turns white. I tried with a TV, but it doesn't show anything.

Scusate, intendevo il chip del BIOS vicino al southbridge.
Qual è lo stato del "sangue"?
Rimane accesa solo la luce blu?
Luce blu pulsante?
Luce blu per 2-3 secondi, poi 3 bip?

A quanto ne so, esistono diversi sintomi legati alla luce blu, che possono essere causati da problemi differenti.

È meglio controllare tutte le tensioni di alimentazione necessarie per l'avvio; puoi trovare dei riferimenti su YouTube.

Verificare anche con il cavo HDMI collegato al televisore,
Ricordo di aver visto la PS5 illuminarsi solo di blu quando la collegavo tramite HDMI al vecchio monitor del PC. Per qualche motivo, la PS5 si rifiutava di avviarsi con il mio vecchio monitor BenQ.

Dopo aver provato con un televisore diverso, si avvia normalmente.

Ma prima di tutto, ti consiglio di assicurarti che la sostituzione della RAM sia effettivamente funzionante, dato che il problema iniziale derivava da un chip di RAM danneggiato.

Trova un'altra scheda funzionante per testare il chip di RAM; è possibile che il chip di RAM di ricambio sia difettoso.

Had you check on power voltage?
Wifi chip can cause blod too, but usually there is some error code appeared.
 
I repaired an EDM-030 yesterday with error 80801F12. Re-balling the eight DDR6 DDR4 modules didn't solve the problem. Re-balling the APU resolved the issue. I also tested removing one DDR6 module and installing only seven, and the error 80801F12 still occurred.
